Bandai HG Wing Zero TV - WIP 02

Progressing quite nicely this holy holiday week. Painted a bunch of parts. All that's left are the left leg, boosters, and repainting the head and shield.


The saber hilts on its shoulders are originally mono-colored blue. Easily masked this one to give an emphasis to the hilt.



This is after completing Zero's left arm. Quite a change their from the original (right arm). Happy with the results :)


Looking at Zero's original base color, it is more of a "dirty" white than the paint I used which screams brightly.


Progressing down the skirts and onto the right leg


Again, a bit of comparison to Zero's original colors (right leg) to the painted parts. Blue, red, and white are obviously brighter which makes it feel more of anime accurate for me. I also replaced the gold parts to yellow not because I want to be as close to the anime - but I ran out of gold paints.



Summing things up and with the way things are going, I think ETF (estimated time to finish) will be within this weekend BUT all can get delayed if I won't be able to get my hands on lacquer thinner needed to strip the shield and head's paint. The joints are also "toughened" up due to the paint where it aged flimsily prior.

Repainting this kit has been a treat. The feeling of working on your most cherished (cheesy) kit has been a fantastic experience. Wing has been the most influential series for Filipinos and opened the doors to mecha addiction.

PS:
Have a meaningful holy week holiday to all of you. :)

SH Figuarts Rockman Zero - Review

Human and reploidkind's last hope: His name is ZERO....? Slide! Z-Saber GET Love the translucent piece L'Oréal ambassador Ryuenjin!!! ...is always followed by Hyouretsuzan If you're a Maverick and hears: Hoooooooo- Haaaaaaa- Hoooooooooooooo!!!!!!!!!! Zero's fundamental 3-combo SLASH Triple Rod Looks sick! Shield Boomerang Super hero lan.... Ugh.... Buster Shot Pew pew pew Who am I...? Pros: Weapons Sculpt is spot on Cons: Articulation plenty but a bit restrictive compared to newer releases by SHF Rockman Zero builds on a new era from the X series. It brings BACK the fun of what the blue bomber and red slasher should be - the best side scrolling game in which the X7 and X8 failed to deliver. Rockman Zero was the sav...

TT Hongli MG 1/100 Exia Ignition Mode - Review

Assembling bootleg kits can be a pain at times but this MG Exia Ignition Mode was a breeze. I was surprised from the fact that 90% went well and the other 10% were minor fixes - from shaving male connectors to gluing parts. I really enjoyed assembling my first Master Grade (I was hoping it was Bandai, my wallet was not cooperating as expected lol). Action! G...Gu...Gundaaaaaam!!!!!!!!!!! GUUUUNDAAAAMU!!! Ore wa........... Ore Wa Gundam-da!! Exia exterminating target............... Graham: Ike, Setsuna! Live and unlock the future! More swords Setsuna? Target exterminated! Joining the bunch :D Pros: Assembling is pretty easy for a bootleg Build is sturdy It came with LEDs! Cons: Joints are too stiff (for my liking, anyways, it made the kit solid though) Swords at his wait does not fit the peg in the hand Exia Repair parts does need half of the non-Repair head. (didn't bother with the transformation) The Exia Ignition Mode is a must have! I'm really g...

RIP Crimson Comet

Photobucket has kidnapped my photos and I'm too lazy to re-upload and update every bit. It's been worthwhile. I'm intending to start a new blog that is more "personal" than just focus on one part of my hobby. Looking at my older posts, I can fairly say I've improved on my toy photography (and English!) in which I am thankful for this space as a medium to share my work. Thank you for reading up to this part! Cheers for 7 years!
